Nelson here...
I arrived at the Chicago Michigan Ave. set on Friday, July 16th. I was
greeted by Mike Case (Bay's assistant) and was taken to Bay's monitor
tent which was in the middle of a war zone. Michael greeted and
proceeded to ask some things about the site. He then took out his iPad
and showed me animatics of some sequences. Holy moly. This movie is
going to be huge!!! In my opinion, more epic than TF2 with the first
time amazement of TF1. I wish I could tell you what I saw on the
animatics, but I can't.
Bay was filming a scene with Shia (Sam) & Rosie (Carly) in which
they were hiding within a wrecked and flipped car. At around that time
the temperature hit 102 degrees (including humidity index). It was so
hot that Shia was sweating through his leather jacket and as was Rosie.
Back to the scene... apparently the scene is one in which a Decepticon
is hunting for them. As Bay filmed this, a cue from the score was played
to add to the suspense.
As the crew broke for lunch, I met Lester Speight (Coltrane on Gears of
War) and went on to lunch with him. He was very nice and delightful.
Later, I got to meet the rest of the cast: Shia, Rosie, Tyrese, and
Josh.
I had the pleasure of talking to Shia for for about 30 minutes and with
Tyrese and Josh for another 30 minutes. All these guys have an
impressionable work ethic, are fun to talk to and down-to-earth people.
And that goes for the rest of the crew. I many many nice and
professional people that are working their hardest to make this movie
successful and entertaining.
As the day came about, Bay, Shia, Tyrese & Josh all came to meet
than fans that had been waiting since 7am to catch a glimpse down the
street. They also were interviewed by CBS 2 TV in which Bay praised the
city of Chicago.
As always, Bay left the best for last. Explosions and gunfire!!
That's it for now. I will post a video of some of the activities later.
Enjoy."
Previously it was believed the name Rush was that of the Ferrari, but in fact it was the name of the street in which it was parked
